Dave Winburn, coordinator of the Territory Artillery which has participated in the event every year, was in charge of starting and ending the concert with a series of canon blasts. "I set off a canon when the orchestra finishes the 'Star Spangled Banner,' and then we set things off at the end with the '1812 Overture'. You can't do the '1812 Overture' without canons, unless you're going to fake it somehow," Winburn said. Winburn said his group of artillerymen have participated in orchestral events all over Utah, and will continue to do so as long as people appreciate their musicalcanon-blasting. "People seem to enjoy it," the long-time Salt Lake City native said. "It's pretty expensive for the guys to do this. All of the canons here are made by us, but we travel from all over to do this."
